why haven't i formed a blood clot after my wisdom teeth extraction?
yesterday i got both of my impacted bottom wisdom teeth removed. they were both trying to surface and ended up taking 45 minutes to take out without issue. my issue is that i barely bled or really soaked my gauze. i never tasted blood in my mouth and after having several friends check, they don't see anything (no redness, major swelling, just a normal gum with stitching). this concerns me because i've read that healing too quickly or not forming a blood clot can cause a dry socket and infection. should i be concerned?
